1 Agriculture Page 1 of 6 I. Answer the Following Q1. What is the importance of agriculture in the Indian economy? Ans. Two-thirds of India s population is engaged in agricultural activities. Agriculture is a primary activity, which produces most of the food that we consume. Besides food grains, it also produces raw material for various industries.moreover, some agricultural products like tea, coffee, spices, etc. are also exported. Q2. What are the features of primitive subsistence farming? Ans. Primitive subsistence agriculture is practised on small patches of land with the help of primitive tools like hoe, dao and digging sticks, and family/community labour. This type of farming depends upon monsoon, natural fertility of the soil and suitability of other environmental conditions to the crops grown. It is a slash and burn agriculture. Farmers clear a patch of land and produce cereals and other food crops to sustain their family. When the soil fertility decreases, the farmers shift and clear a fresh patch of land for cultivation. Q3. Name the primitive subsistence farmings in India. Ans. It is jhumming in north-eastern states like Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland; Pamlou in Manipur, Dipa in Bastar district of Chattishgarh, and in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Q4. What are the features of intensive subsistence farming? Ans. This type of farming is practised in areas of high population pressure on land. It is labour- intensive farming, where high doses of biochemical inputs and irrigation are used for obtaining higher production. Q5. What are the main characteristics of commercial farming? Ans. The main characteristic of this type of farming is the use of higher doses of modern inputs, e.g. high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides in order to obtain higher productivity. Q6. What are the characteristics of plantation farming? Ans. Plantation is also a type of commercial farming. In this type of farming, a single crop is grown on a large area. The plantation has an interface of agriculture and industry. Plantations cover large tracts of land, using capital intensive inputs, with the help of migrant labourers. All the produce is used as raw material in respective industries. In India, tea, coffee, rubber, sugarcane, banana, etc.. are important plantation crops. Since the production is mainly for market, a well- developed network of transport and communication connecting the plantation areas, processing industries and markets plays an important role in the development of plantations. Q7. What are the agricultural seasons in India? Name the crops grown in these seasons.
2 Page 2 of 6 Ans. India has three cropping seasons rabi, kharif and zaid. Rabi crops are sown in winter from October to December and harvested in summer from April to June. Some of the important rabi crops are wheat, barley, peas, gram and mustard. Kharif crops are grown with the onset of monsoon in different parts of the country and these are harvested in September-October. Important crops grown during this season are paddy, maize, jowar, bajra, tur (arhar), moong, urad, cotton, jute, groundnut and soyabean. In between the rabi and the kharif seasons, there is a short season during the summer months known as the Zaid season. Some of the crops produced during zaid are watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, vegetables and fodder crops. Sugarcane takes almost a year to grow. Q8. Name the leading producer of Jowar, Bajra and Ragi. Ans. Bajra- Rajasthan. Ragi- Karnataka. Jowar- Maharashtra. Q9. What is the importance for growing pulses? Ans. India is the largest producer as well as the consumer of pulses in the world. These are the major source of protein in a vegetarian diet. Pulses need less moisture and survive even in dry conditions. Being leguminous crops, all these crops except arhar help in restoring soil fertility by fixing nitrogen from the air. Therefore, these are mostly grown in rotation with other crops. Major pulse producing states in India are Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Karnataka. Q10. Write three features of cultivation of oilseeds. Ans. India is the largest producer of oil- seeds in the world. Different oil seeds are grown covering approximately 12 per cent of the total cropped area of the country. Most of these are edible and used as cooking mediums. Some of these are also used as raw material in the production of soap, cosmetics and ointments. Q11. Which states are the leading producers of groundnut in India? Ans. Andhra Pradesh is the largest producer of groundnut followed by Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat and Maharashtra. Q12. Where is coffee produced in India? Ans. Nilgiri in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Q13. Why is there more demand for Indian coffee in the world? Ans. Indian coffee is known in the world for its high quality. In India, the arabica variety is grown, which was brought originally from Yemen. Q14. Name the main fibre crops in India. Ans. Cotton, Jute, Hemp and natural silk. Q15. What is sericulture? Ans. Rearing of silk worms for the production of silk fibre is known as sericulture.
